I've been here since just before the end of the first age. I remember Coven playing as a storm giant paladin and owning. I also remember that in the first age the naming policy was not enforced very rigidly. Specifically I remember a legion named Blackstaff and a fairly bad-ass ranger named Woodchuck, both of whom hit level 50.
Also, charm was a hilariously overpowered skill for illusionists. |

I was pre-purge. Still swing by the forums occasionally to see what's happening
Yes, I'm THAT Neonin, the one who was/is running around Seringale as an NPC getting himself ass-raped.
Played no real notable characters except for that and a short-lived Knight by the name of Teran. Had a couple of Imms, built Timaran... Ahh, good times. I look back at the stuff some of us used to get up to and the arguments etc and it just seems so horribly childish now lol. |

I may just pop in, but I haven't played a text-based MUD in years... Still, might be nice to see how things are these days. |

It was probably around... 98-99 I started playing, my friend and his brother showed me the game and his brother gave me a ninja named Melchior. I had no clue as to what was happening at all, didn't have any memorable chars but I do remember making a bunch of mino zerkers cuz I thought they owned. Went by the name of Holtaire for a while, then Namehtnayr. Been around ever since on and off, I just can't get away... |

Holtaire and Melchior seems familiar to me. Was Holtaire in a cabal? |

No, Holtaire wasn't in a cabal. He was around a bit, but because I was still relatively new to the realms, he was kind of my trash char lol. I've learned not to be like that though, it's quite annoying when everyone hates you hahaha. |

My first character I think I was ~10. I didn't know how to do anything but walk around Seringale sacrificing banners. I think I collected at least a million gold. I started playing for real when warlords were still around. I had a 50 ninja, Amos. I remember dueling Kaunturon and Nagrok around that time. Also I remember that event where everyone was lvl 50. Then I quit for a while and came back and played as Caeleth and back then the only names I remember are Olyn, and Bamache and Quincera. Recently started tinkering around again : ). But I am as awful as ever. |

I'm trying to remember when that was.. (I played Quincera)
Anyway.. I found this game in 03'.. I was 16-17. Laive (Elf ranger who sucked uber hard) was my first char ..big surprise? I tried a few other characters ..even got made a perma-squire from Imm Solominus or whatever his name was cuz I sucked so hard. Then I read "MeteoFist's Guide on how to kick ass with a ranger" and turned things around.. then Dav/Burz changed combat modules lol |

I recognize Hrimoyan too (well the picture gives it away), a ranger! I had some rough battles with Quincera and Bamache I would guess it was around 07' 08'. I think I killed you and him each once but died about 100 times to each of you lol. |

Some of you may remember my characters - Coven, Sethanon, Aelseran, Avindus, Vandit, several others I don't remember. I spent most of my time between 1998 and 2003 playing AR. It was my obsession. AR didn't cross my mind for ten plus years, and then out of the blue on a vacation back home I wondered if AR was still around and I came searching.
I'm filled with nostalgia just thinking about all the unlocked memories. I was just a freshman in college when I started. During that time I made some great friends I lost contact with. Made some critics. Some were deserved. Got banned. Came back. Using my new found web application creating skills I made a website called thk. that was the database for all the items in AR. Became an IMP because I knew Odoacer in real life and he wanted out. Made a few dungeons. Tweaked some code. Met a few people IRL. Named a few things, such as Mocker's Tavern. Made Davairus an immortal and disappeared.
To all the friends I've made, I hope you are well and I hope hear from you. We had a lot of fun in the game and on IRC. To all the critics, please forgive me for I was young and immature. I've since become a father, husband, live in Atlanta and work in corporate.
AR will always be a special place for me. You can't spend that much time and not have an impact. Thanks to everyone here and gone for making it fun. |
